Default B18A/B/B20 VTEC Oil Supply Question. (yes, another one)

Yea yeah..i searched and did a little picture searching as well...
Im just wondering WHY we dont drill a hole in the B18A/B blocks where the oil line is on a StocK VTEC motor is???

..See where they had to "Plug" the old oil supply on the head? Why cant we just drill and tap the block directly underneth that hole? There both B-series blocks soo i would think that there would still be an Undrilled oil supply underneth(?)...Can someone please explain why or why not???

I'm not sure, but the think the non-vtec blocks have a different passage way for oil. If this is feasible, people would have done this already.

I'm thinking it would be hella hard to drill a hole directly underneath that oil passage in the head and that's why people don't do it.

Thanks guys,
im sure its not that hard to drill directly underneth that hole..but im wondering IF there IS a oil passage under that location??? Because taking the the PCV valve as an example, the VTEC blocks have it and the non-VTEC blocks dont..BUT it still has the piping in the block so you can just drill in the same location and hook a PCV system. And because there both B-series blocks im pretty sure their the same cast but finished differently...for example the B16 and the ITR heads, their both PR3 cast but finished differently....anyone else wanna help...?
